SPOT Creates Adventure Social Networking Site for Member Community
Thursday January 8, 7:00 am ET
SPOTadventures.com Offers Integrated Web Applications for Enhanced Online Experiences With SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPOT LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalstar Inc. (NasdaqGS:GSAT - News) and a leader in personal satellite messaging and emergency communications, today announced it is previewing SPOTadventures.com, a new social networking site dedicated exclusively to the growing global SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger(tm) user community. SPOTadventures.com, scheduled to go live this spring, will offer SPOT users a free, interactive way to share their travel and outdoor experiences in real-time with others on the web.
SPOTadventures.com will offer a full-featured social network utilizing the latest Web 2.0 tools for uploading photos, videos, audio, text and maps to enhance subscribers' communication of their outdoor adventures in a robust and visual way. Instead of using different sites to host a photo gallery or write a blog, users can now create, manage and share content from one location at SPOT Adventures.
SPOT's existing sharing feature was designed to simply allow subscribers to share SPOT GPS location points with others. Now with SPOTadventures.com, registered SPOT users can create a social hub of their outdoor experiences and take advantage of other online applications. Users can enhance their trips and adventures by overlaying their GPS waypoints on Google Maps(tm) or Google Earth(tm), upload geo-tagged photos and videos, allow friends to comment on recent trips, write trip blogs, send personal messages and much more, all managed by the user's personal profile page.
``SPOT's innovative technology and reliable satellite GPS messaging makes it the perfect device for sharing information in real-time from almost anywhere around the world, off-the-grid or just around town,'' said Darren Bassel, Director of Marketing for SPOT LLC. ``The GPS capabilities of SPOT are a cut above other GPS applications on the market today that can only deliver the location data via cellular or WiFi, limiting coverage to the wireless company's service area and customers. SPOT delivers information over a global satellite network. Now, SPOTadventures.com will truly provide our customers with the ultimate platform in building a social experience around geo-location data.''
Using SPOTadventures.com, SPOT subscribers can share their adventure information with personal contacts of their choice and other social networking sites like Facebook, Flickr and EveryTrail. All information is private or public based on personal settings delivered through a secured Web portal.
SPOT is showcasing its products and new services this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in booth number 5218 in the Tech Zone located in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Thanks to this affordable, cutting-edge personal safety device, the company offers people peace of mind by allowing customers to notify friends and family of their location and status, and to send for emergency assistance in time of need, completely independent of cellular phone or wireless coverage.

Open Range Communications Secures $374 Million to Deploy Wireless Broadband Services to 546 Rural Communities
JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s One Equity Partners Invests $100 million
This Private Investment Activates $267 Million Broadband Access Loan from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Utilities Program (RDUP) that Will Enable Q4 Launch
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Open Range Communications, a wireless broadband services provider to rural America, today announced an investment of $100 million from One Equity Partners (OEP), the private equity arm of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM). In March 2008, the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Utilities Program (RDUP) approved a $267 million Broadband Access Loan for Open Range, with the prerequisite that private financing also be secured. The OEP investment satisfies the RDUP’s loan terms, making the funds available to Open Range.
Open Range’s Broadband Rollout The funding enables Open Range to launch affordable high-speed broadband Internet and voice services to more than six million citizens in 546 underserved and rural communities, using WiMAX technology, within five years. Open Range will lease mobile satellite spectrum from Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSAT) under Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) authority granted by the Federal Communications Commission in October 2008.
“The timing of our initiative couldn’t be better,” said Bill Beans, Jr., Chairman, CEO and Founder of Open Range. “The success of this financing is a testament to the powerful opportunity offered by the promise of WiMAX technology, the strength of my team and our resolve to execute on the plan for wireless broadband in rural America. We consider this a brilliant achievement in what is clearly one of the most challenging financing markets in recent history. The Open Range project demonstrates the forethought and vision of our partners at One Equity Partners and the USDA’s Rural Development team."
“Open Range’s approach to rural broadband deployment is both innovative and strategic. We believe that delivering broadband Internet access to underserved communities meets a critical need at a critical time in the United States,” said David Walsh, Managing Director of One Equity Partners. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Bill and his team.”
No Manual Required
Open Range’s services require no home installation, no awkward and unsightly rooftop antennae, no technicians and simple plug-in hardware setup to initiate service. Customers simply connect an Open Range Simply Easier(sm) device to a desktop or laptop computer for instant, portable, dependable and low-cost access to the Internet. In most communities network equipment will be located on existing towers.
Open Range’s WiMAX service also lends itself to a variety of innovative public safety and commercial applications, including municipal traffic control and automatic meter reading.
Partners on the Range
In late 2007, Open Range signed an agreement with Globalstar, Inc. allowing it to deploy wireless broadband service in rural communities using Globalstar’s Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) authority. The agreement contemplates using the Globalstar spectrum to offer dual mode wireless broadband services to more than 500 communities that do not have adequate access to broadband voice and Internet services.
RBC Daniels, a division of RBC Capital Markets Corporation, served as financial advisor to Open Range in the arrangement of its funding and the formation of its spectrum partnership with Globalstar. Specializing in financial services to the cable, telecommunications, media and technology industries worldwide, RBC Daniels assists clients with mergers and acquisitions, public and private equity and debt financings, and financial advisory engagements.
